In an apparent case of vigilante justice, a man and his two sons chased two men across Jersey City and smashed their car windows, leading to their arrests, Jersey City police said.

Michael S. Azmy, 27, of Avenue E, and Kirollos Y. Shakoul, 18, of East 23rd Street, both of Bayonne, were arrested at the corner of Communipaw and West Side avenues at 4:57 p.m. yesterday, a police report says. They were charged with armed robbery and weapons offenses.

The 51-year-old victim told police he was in his store, Rene's Auto Store on Garfield Avenue, when the pair approached, pointed to the victim's name on paperwork on the counter and asked if that was his name, a report says. When he said it was, one of the men pulled a tire iron from under his shirt, saying "You are a mother f---er" and as he swung at the victim he said "Give me your f----ing money," a report says.

The victim ran from the store with the men chasing and got the attention of his 28- and 18-year-old sons, who ran to his aid, a report says. Azmy and Shakoul then fled in a Honda Accord and as they drove away, the vehicle struck both sons, a report says.

The three victims jumped into a car and chased Azmy and Shakoul to Communipaw and West Side avenues, where they jumped out and smashed the driver's side and passenger side windows of the Accord to stop it, a report says.

By then police were converging on the area and they found Shakoul, the driver, slumped over and bleeding from his chest, a report says. Both men were taken to the Jersey City Medical Center for treatment, a report says.

One of the owner's sons was struck in the thigh by the Accord and the other's foot was run over, reports said, adding that they too were taken to the hospital.

Azmy and Shakoul are slated to make their first court appearance on the charges this afternoon in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City, officials said.
